Chapter 235: Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll
Under the stimulation of the terrestrial fire, the phoenix pattern on the scorched wood became brighter, and there were spiritual lights surging in the dark golden slender cracks.
On the pattern, the slightly changing wings with faint golden patterns caused the intense surging of the terrestrial fire river below, and a hot fire spirit surged to the bottom of the scorched wood.
"The fire spirit is still not enough."
Lu Xuan looked at the dark golden shadow on the phoenix wood and muttered softly.
He brought this sixth-grade ancient spirit plant, the phoenix wood, into the tributary of the terrestrial fire, hoping to cultivate the phoenix wood successfully under the stimulation of the terrestrial fire.
Unfortunately, the phoenix shadow couldn't even break out of the scorched wood, let alone soar into the sky.
"It seems I can only look for some high-grade alien fire to cultivate and nourish the growth of the phoenix wood."
Lu Xuan sighed silently. He performed the Earth Attraction Technique, and a recess appeared quietly on the stone wall near the Earth Fire tributary.
He carefully placed the scorched wood in the recess, intending to use the fire spirit here to preserve the spiritual nature of the phoenix wood.
Even if it couldn't promote its growth, as long as it could maintain the vitality of the phoenix wood, Lu Xuan would be satisfied.After dealing with what he obtained from the blessed land, Lu Xuan finally had time to carefully observe the growth of the various spirit plants on the peaks.
After some time away from the cave, the spirit plants planted everywhere had undergone significant changes.
The sixteen second-grade firefly grasses left for cultivation had slender leaves at the top, each condensing several sparkling blue seeds.
The seeds, like a clear lake surface, emitted a slight chill on the surface, and infiltrating them with spiritual consciousness, one could feel the rich water spirit inside.
The mature firefly grasses had dried up for some time, and in contrast to the condensed spiritual seeds at the top, it seemed as if the entire essence of the plant had merged into the seeds.
Lu Xuan activated his spiritual power, and a thin layer of frost instantly condensed on the spiritual seeds, freezing the vitality inside as if in suspended animation.
He carefully picked them and placed them in a specially crafted jade box.
Next, as long as they were processed in a special way and stored for some time, they could be used for cultivation.
The number of spiritual seeds condensed from the second-grade firefly grass was almost half of that of the ungraded firefly grass. The sixteen firefly grasses eventually condensed eighty-five spiritual seeds.
However, Lu Xuan was quite satisfied. After all, the cultivation rewards brought by the firefly grass were ten times that of the ungraded firefly grass. Even if only a part of the light orbs produced cultivation results, it would still benefit him greatly.
"Eighty-five second-grade firefly grasses, a small part continues to condense spiritual seeds, and another part can probably bring me at least twenty to thirty years of cultivation rewards."
"I really want to progress too much."
Lu Xuan sighed sincerely.
Without the cultivation rewards brought by the light orbs, his cultivation progress could be described as stagnant. With his ordinary aptitude, he didn't know when he could break through to the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
As for the previously mutated fire-type spirit plants, due to the high rate of loss of spiritual seeds and the acquisition of second-grade firefly grass, Lu Xuan had to reluctantly give up and focus on the firefly grass.
After dealing with the firefly grass seedling issue, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the spiritual fields.
"Little grass, come here!"
Passing through a spiritual field, he saw the tirelessly patrolling grass puppet and summoned it over.
After being promoted to the second grade, the grass puppet had undergone many changes due to Lu Xuan's repeated use of the green wood source Qi to promote its growth, and its spiritual intelligence had improved a lot.
Upon hearing this, it raised its head and looked at Lu Xuan. With its large head wrapped in gray grass, it moved swiftly with its long steps, rushing over.
A strand of light blue spiritual energy poured into the grass puppet's chest, and the central area instantly turned lush green. The green spiritual light spread to the surroundings, and in a few breaths, it turned into a small-headed green grass man.
After dyeing the grass puppet green, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the spiritual fields.
"Another batch of jade scale fruits has ripened!"
When he arrived at the area where the jade scale fruits were planted, his spiritual consciousness swept over, quickly determining the growth status of the spirit plants.
After picking two fruits before, there were still a total of six remaining. This time, when he looked at them with his spiritual consciousness, he quickly found two jade scale fruits that had entered the fully ripe stage.
He held his breath, and his palm turned into a glass-like finger bone, carefully picking the jade scale fruit from the thin jade-like leaves.
The jade scale fruit in his hand emitted a cool jade-like aura, with scales on the surface neatly arranged, like layers of fish scales, revealing the crystal-clear and translucent spiritual fruit in the middle.
"Good quality, not bad at all."
Lu Xuan sighed, and his mind condensed. A thought flashed by.
【Jade scale fruit, third-grade spirit plant. After consumption, it can enhance the physical strength of cultivators or demonic beasts. It can also be used to refine certain body-refining elixirs.】
While sighing, he reached towards the white light orb that appeared.
The light orb flickered slightly where the jade scale fruit was picked, hidden in the thin jade leaves, appearing and disappearing.
As he touched the light orb, it turned into countless light particles and rushed into Lu Xuan's body.
【Harvested one third-grade jade scale fruit, obtained fourth-grade spiritual ore—Red Jade.】
A baby's head-sized ore appeared in Lu Xuan's hand, with a reddish color, a pitted surface, and uneven bumps and hollows. Inside, one could faintly see a substance flowing like jade marrow.
This Red Jade was a fourth-grade spiritual ore containing a large amount of jade essence and could be used to refine flying swords and magical treasures.
"Although I already got a piece of Red Jade last time, having more fourth-grade spiritual ores is always beneficial."
Lu Xuan murmured and focused his attention on another completely ripe jade scale fruit.
"A superior quality jade scale fruit."
The previous three jade scale fruits were of good quality, bringing the third-grade magical treasure—Mountain Sealing Jade Seal, and two fourth-grade spiritual ores, Red Jade. The rewards were generous.
Therefore, this superior quality jade scale fruit naturally increased Lu Xuan's expectations.
He didn't care about the jade scale fruit in his hand and quickly stored it in his storage bag.
Then, looking at the white light orb hanging high among the jade leaves, he leaped gently and pulled it down.
The moment he touched the light orb, it turned into countless light points and poured into Lu Xuan's body through his shoulders.
A thought flashed through his mind.
【Harvested one third-grade jade scale fruit, obtained fourth-grade treasure—Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll.】
A delicate jade scroll appeared in his hand, about three inches long and one inch wide. It was transparent and crystal-clear, and
one could vaguely see the white spiritual power flowing like fine hairs inside.
Holding it in his hand, there was a cool feeling, as if it could drive away all evil thoughts and restlessness in the heart.
With a concentrated mind, Lu Xuan quickly learned the detailed information about the jade scroll.
【Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll, fourth-grade treasure, refined from the essence of Cloud Mountain Jade. It possesses extremely powerful abilities to ward off evil and avoid disasters, serving as a natural nemesis for many high-level and cunning demonic entities. It can be used as a defensive magical tool and can also engrave anti-evil runes on the jade scroll to attack demonic entities.】
"Fourth-grade treasure, truly worthy of a superior quality spirit fruit."
"This Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll can be used both as a natural defensive magical tool and can also engrave special runes to enhance its power."
Lu Xuan flipped the delicate jade scroll, unwilling to let it go.
